I don't know what it means, but this strikes me as odd.

And that constitutes "NEWS" for sure.

Good point. Also, if Trayvon was more or less “exiled” to Sanford, so he couldn’t have fun during his suspension, why would his father allow him to go to the movies with his 20 year old cousin the night before and assume he was at the movies again, on the night of the incident? Has being “grounded” or “on punishment” changed THAT much since I was a teenager?

Trayvon’s father has lied before, first accurately telling the police the cries for help on the 911 tapes were NOT Trayvon and later (after meeting Rev. Al) telling the media and the lynch mob that it was “my son screaming for his life”.

[biggredd1]

ya, interesting! One of the first commie reports said trevon bought skittles for his nephew [implying he had a little nephew at the house].

[Uncle Slayton]

Why is it that Tracy Martin and other members of Trayvon’s family are doing countless media interviews?

What is their agenda?

Why can’t they just, like a normal dignified family, stay away from the media.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Oral statements, written statements, material objects such as a broken nose, grass stains and credibility are all meaningless in this controversy. What is of prime importance is keeping blacks at a fever pitch. The riots at the political conventions are too important to worry about such mundane things as evidence and proof!

[hoosiermama]

Where did the Skittle and AZ Tea story come from? Did anyone see the two items? Both are street names for drugs.

[DouglasKC]

I’ve never read exactly why he was in that neighborhood.

[shoff]

One thing that I saw that doesn’t get much notice is why did Zimmerman have to leave his truck to find Martin? This is a development and he could have just followed in his truck. Then I saw somewhere Martin was going through backyards and not on the street. As a community watch would that not arouse your suspicions? What was Martin looking for in back yards during the several hours he was unsupervised?

this
“”The only reason he got a chance to go to the store is because he begged his dad to go,” he said. At the time, his father and his fiancée had gone out to dinner and to watch a basketball game, leaving Martin at the townhouse, according to Martin family spokesman Ryan Julison. “

The NBA all star game was played in orlando that night. Earlier reports said trayvon went to the store at around 7 pm before the game started and since the incident happened at around 7:20 that is consistent.

The fathr’s storeis are not

so when did he beg his father if his father was out to dinner? did his father go to the all star game? if so then he would have been long gone from the condo before 7 pm to eat dinner and get to a major game that started at 7:30

You are astute to pick up the differences in the stories.

[Zhang Fei]

While walking to the store, Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend, whom he had been talking to for over 6½ hours throughout the day, the family's attorney said, citing phone records.

They've been lying throughout. I bet there aren't any phone records to back up this assertion. The guy claimed he had a recorded conversation. Then it turns out the conversation was one between the girlfriend recounting what she recalled and the "family" lawyer.

[bgill]

You noticed that, too, huh. Far too many lies and far too many photo ops coming from that corner. What parent goes to bed without knowing where their kid is and not knowing if he came in that night? If the father's girlfriend lived in that neighborhood, then why when they came in from their dinner did they not know about the shooting? Seems like the entire neighborhood was all over it what with all the 911 calls and witnessing it and then the cops were probably there until late collecting evidence and reports. To me, that might be that the father never came that night.

The mother was saying the yelling on the 911 tape was her son but it was the caller's little kid, Jeremy (?). The call came after the shooting which would be after Trayvon was already dead.

I'm sorry for them losing a son but they're doing him more harm than good. Their lies and accusations are proving that he grew up in an environment that condoned such behavior.

[txrangerette]

Trying to get this straight.

Father wanted his son to stay in, but son begged to go to the store.

Father gave in to that pleading, but later claims that he wasn’t too concerned that Trayvon wasn’t back, because he figured he would be with the 20 yr old relative at the movies, because they would go to the movies whenever T was in Sanford.

Even after neither could be reached on their cell phones, Father figured their cell phones were off, in the movies.

Next morning he finally reaches the 20 yr old who informs him he hasn’t been with Trayvon, period.

But this all started with a simple trip to the store for which he had to beg permission?

What was assumed would happen after he got to the store?? In context you assume he would return back to the apt.

But it seems if the 20 yr old relative was involved...which he wasn’t...all bets were off, anything goes.

That sounds very strange.

Even if the truth, sounds like Trayvon was palmed off on a 20 yr old relative and his whereabouts not a concern to dad as long as dad could tell himself Trayvon must be with the relative.

The conflict is, the dad was so very concerned about Trayvon, the kid had to beg to leave for a brief trip to the store.

But after that, so what??? The 20 yr old will take care of everything!!

[Beagle8U]

I saw a Fla newspaper article when this story started, that quoted Trayvon’s father as saying that he called the police the next day after the shooting...to see if he had been arrested.

It read that as he wasn't worried at all that he was gone all night, and that it was something normal for him to have been arrested.

Must be that happened alot.

[Qbert]

Good catch.

(Seems like the attorney is up to something here).

[DJ Taylor]

Trayvon’s behavior night is something we’ve seen before.

“I had gone out for dinner,” says Tracy, “and when I got home, Trayvon wasn’t there. I tried calling his cell phone several times, and it went straight to voicemail. I wasn’t that worried, because he had been spending time with my 20-year-old nephew who was a responsible young man. There wasn’t a panic that he wasn’t at home. I figured that they had gone to the movies, because they had said they might. So I laid down, thinking they would show up later.”

The next morning, when he woke up, Tracy realized that Trayvon had not returned home.

“I started making calls, and I reached my nephew,” Martin says. “He said he hadn’t seen Trayvon. Then I really started getting worried. So I called the Sheriff’s department to file a missing persons report. I let them know it hadn’t been 24 hours, but it was unusual for Trayvon not to return home.”

Three police cars soon pulled up and a detective asked Tracy for a recent picture of his son. “I had one on my phone, so I showed it to him,” Tracy says, his voice tightening. “He told me he was going to show me a photo and ask if it was my son. He pulled out a photo of Trayvon’s dead body. And the nightmare began.”

[zeestephen]

The original story was he got permission to go to the store to buy Skittles for his little nephew, right?

So, need to check the father's time line now.

What time did he leave to go out for dinner?

How long had Trayvon been outside the house when the father left?

Where does Trayvon’s cell phone locate him during this time period?

Are the wheels going to come off this part of the story, too?

Anyone done due diligence on the father's integrity, namely, criminal record, employment history, etc.

Is this guy working, or does he hang around the house all day watching Trayvon?

[patriot08]

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

Where is the outrage?

[DustyMoment]

According to other reports I have seen, Trayvon lay on a morgue slab for 3 days before his grieving “family” even noticed that he was missing.

Then, his mother applied for trademarks on his name.

These are despicable opportunists, NOT grieving family members.

[gopcharger]

There has been video on the news of the area after it was taped off. You mean to tell me Martin’s father had no idea there was a shooting in that small community the night before?

I smell a rat.
